In this photo, Alan makes comments as Adam and Rich spar. It seemed to be an exercise in frustration for Adam for a minute. Rich caught him with a few hard shots. "I'm trying to get punches in," I heard him tell Alan. Alan advised the both of them to slow down. It was a case of one throwing hard shots and the other deciding to answer with even harder shots.
As usual, I broke my own rule regarding sparring so soon after having a fight. Sarah and I sparred. Earlier, Alan asked me, "Any soreness from the fight?" "I felt very sore on Saturday, but not so much on Sunday," I answered. I assumed I was okay to spar, but later on, I was hurting again. I doubt that any of that damage was from Sarah because we weren't going that hard. Amy described my fight with Edith last Friday as "a war", and it basically was. I was still feeling residual damage from that.
Greg (in the gray shirt) and Nathaniel sparred for a few rounds.
Matt (on the left) and Alan were having a conversation about religion in this photo, taken near the end of the evening. Today, I told Pastor Roger about Willie praying with everyone before the fights on Friday night, and he was pleased. "Go Willie!" Pastor grinned. Pastor Roger probably thinks I should be witnessing to everybody at the gym and dragging them down to church. However, I've always liked that the gym is a mix of people from different backgrounds, including different religious backgrounds. Like John, a lawyer who used to attend the gym said, "It's like the United Nations in here!"
